Gleason is battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and allowed Pamphilon to capture his struggle with the disease. He played for the Saints from 2000 to 2007 and maintains a strong relationship with the club, which has backed his efforts to improve the lives of those living with the debilitating symptoms of ALS.

Pamphilon and Gleason disagree on the terms of their agreement.

"We do have a production agreement that I followed," Pamphilon told Yahoo! Sports. "I can't understand why Steve would think it's in his best interest to prevent me from telling the truth about Gregg Williams."

"It is true that from the beginning Steve and his wife (Michel) were opposed to releasing this footage and I felt strongly that the public had a right to hear this material and judge for themselves," Pamphilon said in a statement to Yahoo! Sports. "To this end, we agreed upon a third party, a person of high character who both Steve and I trust implicitly, to mediate and advise us on the final decision. When I received a call from this person saying to release the audio 'the sooner the better,' I did just that. ... "

"The material I shot with Steve this past year was unbelievably compelling and there was no doubt this film would have been HUGE," Pamphilon continued in his statement to Yahoo! Sports. "In effect, yesterday, I gave up a sure thing, to do what myself and many other parents would consider the right thing. I feel as strongly today as I have from the beginning that the audio speaks for itself and that the public had a right to hear it."
